Hi.
I'm looking for tips on creating objects dynamically. I want to be able to create a number of cubes evenly distributed on a single plane in some less tedious way than just creating them by hand. I've looked at internal messages, and I think I could use them to do it, but it seems kind of kludgey, and I don't know how to connect the objects to the gemlist once they're created. I know there's a connect message, but how do you get the number for each object?
Thanks for any pointers you can offer.
Cheers, Ian

As you're mentioning "cubes", I conclude that you are talking about Gem cubes, right? Or are you trying to create data structure cubes?
I'm not a Gem expert at all, but the Gem pros at the pd~convention all seem to use the [repeat] objects *everywhere*, so I think, that's their secret weapon.

Oh, yes, gem cubes.

Wow, secret weapon indeed! That's changed my entire gem existence. Thanks. It also suddenly makes me appreciate translateXYZ's otherwise strange property of translating everything below it in incremental amounts. -Ian

[repeat] ? Where does it come from? Where can I get its help file?
